No one knew what Chu Kuangren had gained during his three years of closed-door meditation other than gaining insight into the Heavenly Punishment Seal.
No one knew that even though he did not have any spiritual power, he was still able to easily cast his unparalleled runic techniques.
However, Elder Ruyan and the others knew.
The invincible and high-spirited Chu Kuangren had returned!
When the Black Heaven Sect disciples saw the sky full of runes, their faces were filled with excitement. Some of them could not help but have tears in their eyes.
"He's back. The Sect Leader is back."
"I knew it. How could a stupid seal stop the Sect Leader? With how powerful he is, he'll definitely become an Emperor in the future."
"That's right …"
…
Compared to the Black Heaven Sect disciples' excitement.
Liu Yiqing and Yin Li, who were locked in a stone prison by the runic halo, looked at the sky outside in disbelief.
"Even with the Heavenly Punishment Seal on his body, he still has such powerful techniques. Is this the Chu Kuangren who shocked the world three years ago?!"
Liu Yiqing murmured.
Before he came here, he was very unconvinced. But now, he finally saw the huge gap between him and Chu Kuangren.
"No wonder Yao Rao admired this person so much. No wonder the world can't forget about him …" Liu Yiqing smiled bitterly.
Beside him, Yin Li sat in a corner. His already pale face had turned even paler after the injury.
However, he remembered something. "The Divine Predictor Pavilion's first place on the Soaring Dragon Leaderboard has been empty for three years. Rumor has it that the divine predictor purposely left that spot for Chu Kuangren."
"Now that I think about it, it's very likely that this is the case. If he can still have such powerful techniques even after being sealed, how will he shock the world once he's unsealed? The first place on the Soaring Dragon Leaderboard, who else could it be but him?"
Yin Li said emotionally. No matter how dissatisfied he was, it all disappeared in the face of such a huge gap in strength.
The countless runes in the sky slowly dissipated.
Not long after.
Tap tap …
A series of footsteps came from outside the stone prison.
Chu Kuangren came to the front of the stone prison and looked at the two with a playful expression. "You two have the guts to barge into the Black Heaven Sect with your cultivation level. Tsk, you two sure have guts."
"If it weren't for you, no one in the Black Heaven Sect would be able to stop us."
Liu Yiqing said.
It was true. Although the two of them had yet to become Sages, their combat strength was comparable to a Seventh-Step Sage or even a Great Sage. Coupled with some trump cards, such as Yin Li's black veil, no one in the entire Black Heaven Sect could stop them.
At least no one could kill them.
However, they did not expect Chu Kuangren, who was under the Heavenly Punishment Seal, to possess such a mysterious runic technique.
He could mobilize the power of thousands of runes without the need for spiritual energy.
At this thought, Liu Yiqing could not help but be curious. "All rune techniques require spiritual power to activate. How did you do it?"
"Oh, you mean this?"
Chu Kuangren snapped his fingers and a rune condensed in front of him. It turned into a ball of lightning and struck a boulder beside him, shattering it into pieces.
Liu Yiqing and Zhang Xuan looked at each other and confirmed that the other party had not used any spiritual power.
The runes were formed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Chu Kuangren had a way to mobilize the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth without using his spiritual power.
This was one of the rewards that Chu Kuangren had gained from his closed-door meditation. He was able to use his spiritual thoughts to mobilize the spiritual qi of the heavens and earth and condense them into thousands of runes!
This was something that only Chu Kuangren, who possessed the Talent of Conjurer Techniques and had gained insights into the Elysium Emperor Scripture, could do.
The Heavenly Punishment Seal was not entirely a bad thing. At least it allowed him to develop many techniques that were related to telekinesis, so his talent as a conjurer did not go to waste.
Moreover, the strength of his spiritual thoughts had continued to improve during the process of gaining insights into the Heavenly Punishment Seal. It had far surpassed the average Sage.
Even a Sage Ruler would not be able to compare to him.
There were also other rewards.
Naturally, Chu Kuangren would not tell Liu Yiqing and Yin Li about these. He only said, "There's no point in killing you two. How about this? Is there anyone who can come and save you? I'll help you inform them and have them prepare a ransom."
Whether it was Liu Yiqing or Yin Li, both of them were insignificant characters to Chu Kuangren. It did not matter whether he killed them or not.
It was better to think about how he could use them.
"Ransom? There are countless treasures in my Parchprime Palace. As long as you let me go, I'll definitely send them to you. "
Liu Yiqing's eyes lit up.
Being imprisoned, he had no choice but to bow down.
"I know of an Emperor's Opportunity of Fortune. As long as you let me go, I'll share it with you," Yin Li immediately said. He did not join any forces, so that was the only bargaining chip he could exchange for.
As for his Boundary Emperor Weapon, it had long been confiscated by Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren stroked his chin. "Let you go? Stop joking. If you run away, who am I going to ask for the ransom?"
"What do you want then?"
"Write a letter, and I'll personally go to Parchprime Palace to collect the ransom. As for that Emperor's Opportunity of Fortune of yours, tell me what's going on now. Whether I let you go or not depends on the situation," Chu Kuangren said.
When the two heard this, their expressions changed indeterminately.
With that, Chu Kuangren had the upper hand.
"Alright, I'll write it." Liu Yiqing nodded.
He had no other choice but to do as Chu Kuangren said.
Yin Li also told Chu Kuangren about the Emperor's Opportunity of Fortune that he knew. As for whether it was true or not, Chu Kuangren would verify it himself.
After receiving the letter and obtaining the Opportunity of Fortune, Chu Kuangren took out a red scarf and threw it out. The scarf instantly turned into a red light barrier that sealed the entire stone prison.
That was the Nine Profound Heavens Fire Barrier that the Acheron Manor Lord used to seal the Black Heaven Sect. After the great battle, it landed on the battlefield and was retrieved by the Black Heaven Sect.
Since it was a Boundary Emperor Weapon, there was no way the two of them could escape from it.
Chu Kuangren only left after he was done with that.
…
Black Heaven Sect, outside the Astonishing Cloud of Seas Formation.
For the past three years, many people had been lingering around the great formation, hoping to obtain some Opportunities of Fortune from it.
And this was not impossible.
The great battle three years ago was too brutal. Countless cultivators died, including many Sages.
The items left behind by these people were scattered all over the battlefield. Even the Black Heaven Sect might not be able to find all of them.
Later on, someone found a supreme weapon at the outer perimeter of the Astonishing Cloud of Seas Formation. When news of that spread, it attracted many cultivators, and it gradually became a gold rush. Many people were willing to risk their lives to enter the Astonishing Cloud of Seas Formation in search of Opportunities of Fortune.
Although some people managed to find something, many lost their lives as well.
"Old Li, did you find anything today?"
At the outer perimeter of the Astonishing Cloud of Seas Formation, a middle-aged cultivator asked someone who had just returned from the formation.
Old Li pouted. "I've been searching the outer perimeter for half a day and only found a few soulstones. What bad luck."
"It's been three years, and most of the good stuff has been picked up by others. I plan to leave after some time."
The middle-aged cultivator said with a smile.
"Sigh, me too. Eh, what's wrong with you …"
Old Li sighed helplessly. Then, he realized that the middle-aged man in front of him seemed to have seen something unbelievable. His eyes were wide open as he stared behind him.
He turned around curiously and saw two women and a man slowly walking out from behind him.
